    Nice car! My dads first car was an old Buick (I think 56?) he bought, and had it repainted, restored the engine, etc..

    Since then though, he's had boring cars. Of course, he's kind of boring, for an old fart.

    Isn't that the car Steve Buschemi requested from William H. Macy in "Fargo"?

    I had a shocking experience with Vegemite. The first time I had it, I spread it on bread thick like peanut butter. I almost vomited. After a few weeks in Australia, I actually came to really enjoy it.

    I could only find an old newspaper ad of my first car

    [​IMG]

    A 1979 Audi 5000 in silver. I paid $1,900 for it. I drove it for 65,000 miles and then a buddy of mine who had borrowed my car while I was living abroad threw a rod. I bought another silver 1979 Audi 5000 with a blown transmission for $800 and put my transmission in it and kept the old car for parts. I drove that one for over 100K. A great car.

    First vehicle was a '76 CJ6
    [​IMG]

    This was the long-wheel-base version of the CJ5. Great truck. As you can see - rust was eating it up...

    First car was a 1969 Citroen Ami6. $30 rescued it from a local airport where it has been standing for a decade.

    Looked like this:

    Just not that pretty.
